Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    If not already cooked, boil or grill the chicken until fully cooked, then shred it using two forks.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onion

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed onion, taco seasoning, cilantro, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix well.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or skillet to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous amount of the chicken filling (about 1/4 cup) in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Saucing and Baking

  1. 6

    Add the Enchilada Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered.

  2. 7

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the sauce.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the enchiladas for about 20-25 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot topped with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped green onions.
